Arsenal and Aubameyang: Transfer Myths vs Reality
Greetings All Positives, There is something about a transfer window that makes most grown men and women who support Arsenal Football Club get absolutely mental and irrational. Most of my readers are familiar with my thesis that it is our psychological susceptibility to fear vs greed that drives us to such irrational behavior. How else […]
Arsenal: Only a 40% Correlation between Penalties-For and Avg League Position

Arsenal’s British Core Is Alive And Well
Aaron Ramsey’s Man-of-the-Match performance vs Chelsea last Sunday had me thinking.

Arsenal’s Giant Hole In Midfield
Yesterday’s horror show at Anfield has brought out all the usual media clichés, memes and tropes about Arsenal Football Club.
